I think early on in the season Roy is going to give two of those freshman bigs every opportunity to make an impact- he's not going to just start with small ball, but he will I think get into it eventually. Roy will adjust but fresh off of a National Championship, and with no chance of winning it all next season, he may take the long game approach here try to find a balance of developing those project big men and just getting into the Tournament. It's probably the wise approach, instead of doing what K would do which would be to maximize the regular season win total playing 7 guys while 5 rot on the bench. Duke floats in and around the top 10 all year, gets a nice seed because they over achieved in the regular season, and then flames out in the Tournament because they never had a chance to win it all.
but Roy will definitely adjust- he played a lot of VERY perimeter oriented offense in his early days at Kansas.
If we don't sweep UNC assuming we have no major injuries I'm going to be pretty pissed about it. There is no reason at all why we don't A.) sweep and B.) win one of the games by double digits.
Also, if Bolden isn't a turd again next season, it should be nice to finally win the battle inside against UNC on the boards and in the paint. It was pretty helpless the last couple of seasons watching us get bent over underneath so many possessions in a row.
